There are many entry points to sailing, but none give you the variety and support that Topper International can offer.
More newcomers have learned their skills in a Topper than any other sailboat as it is the leading singlehanded class for Junior sailors. With regular sailing events worldwide it is a community that continues to grow, offering budding sailors of all ages the chance to be a part of a truly exciting sport.
Our Topaz Range is equally widespread, with sailing schools and holiday clubs using our boats to teach and tour. The Topaz range provides the ultimate range of water-crafts, perfect for novice and experienced sailors alike.
After almost 40 years of continuous production (approaching 50,000 boats!) it is the outstanding build quality, and innovative design features that have made the Topper one of the most popular boats in Britain. It has won many awards for design and construction, including the world renowned Design Council Award.
Available in three rigs, Topper provides a scalable and progressive sailing route for all ages.
Topper 4.2
The 4.2 is our entry-level option for younger sailors, designed to help you get to grips before progressing to the the 5.3 fleet. The 4.2 provides a fantastic opportunity to make friends and dip your toe into the world of competitive sailing.
Topper 5.3
Friendly and competitive, the 5.3 is our long established racing class, with national and world events every year. Fully recognised by the RYA as an Olympic Pathway, there are always plenty of training opportunities across the UK all year.
Topper 6.4
The 6.4 is an ideal choice for more experienced sailors looking for a challenge. A great way to gain confidence sailing a larger rig before progressing into adult racing classes, it also allows you to sail with friends long after you’ve outgrown the 5.3.
